More quotes by Bret Easton Ellis
How could she ever understand that there isn't any way could be disappointed since I no longer find anything worth looking forward to?
Bret Easton Ellis
At Columbus Circle, a juggler wearing a trench cloak and top hat, who is usually at this location afternoons and who calls himself Stretch Man, performs in front of a small, uninterested crowd though I smell prey, and he seems worthy of my wrath, I move on in search of a less dorky target. Though if he'd been a mime, odds are he'd already be dead.
Bret Easton Ellis
I don't want to care. If I care about things, it'll just be worse, it'll just be another thing to worry about. It's less painful if I don't care.
Bret Easton Ellis
I'm not a big believer in disciplined writers. What does discipline mean? The writer who forces himself to sit down and write for seven hours every day might be wasting those seven hours if he's not in the mood and doesn't feel the juice. I don't think discipline equals creativity.
Bret Easton Ellis
The snowy owl has eyes that look just like mine, especially when it widens them. And while I stand there, staring at it, lowering my sunglasses, something unspoken passes between me and the bird - there's this weird kind of tension, a bizarre pressure, that fuels the following, which starts, happens, ends, very quickly.
Bret Easton Ellis
I wasn't acting on passion. I was simply acting.
Bret Easton Ellis
I laugh maniacally, then take a deep breath and touch my chest- expecting a heart to be thumping quickly, impatiently, but there's nothing there, not even a beat.
Bret Easton Ellis
If you start looking at movies on a moral level - I don't like that, that hurts, that's mean, that's bad - then I don't even want to talk to you. Or like, someone that says I don't like science-fiction movies, or I don't want to sit through a Western, or I don't like violence in movies, then I completely tune out.
Bret Easton Ellis
Hope E.L .James doesn't think I'm being a prankster. I really want to adapt her novels for the screen. Christian Grey is a writer's dream.
Bret Easton Ellis
What keeps me interested--and it always does--is how can she be a bad actress on film but a good one in reality?
Bret Easton Ellis
She sits before me, sullen but hopeful, characterless, about to dissolve into tears. I squeeze her hand back, moved, no, touched by her ignorance of evil. She has one more test to pass. Do you own a briefcase?” I ask her, swallowing.
Bret Easton Ellis
My pain is constant and sharp...this confession has meant nothing
Bret Easton Ellis
I really believe that readers are smart and sophisticated enough to realize that the author is not the narrator of his novels.
Bret Easton Ellis
Disintegration---I'm taking it in stride.
Bret Easton Ellis
No one will ever know anyone. We just have to deal with each other. You're not ever gonna know me.
Bret Easton Ellis
The better you look, the more you see.
Bret Easton Ellis
Exploitation is a harsh word, I know that, but on a certain level, to me that is the central Hollywood story.
Bret Easton Ellis
I write books to relieve myself of pain. That's the prime motivator to write. Period.
Bret Easton Ellis
My pain is constant and sharp, and I do not hope for a better world for anyone.
Bret Easton Ellis
What else is there to do in college except drink beer or slit one's wrists?
